I've always said that Firemen don't get paid enough for what they do.

A substantial something extra in the pay envelope for every fire they respond to.

I highly respect those men and women. It's tragic that those two lost their lives.

That includes the ones who put out the fires on USS MIAMI, one of our LA-class subs so heavily damaged in an arson fire set by an angry yardbird, that she will be scrapped. The Navy officially decommissioned her yesterday. She was originally launched in 1990 and over 100 firefighters fought to save her. Damn. It is a different Navy than in older times...

Lets have a look. The US Navy reported that a mixed team of civilian firefighters from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard [ total complement, 44 firefighters as of last year ], and ships damage control duty crews from MIAMI fought the blaze along with, according to Sub Group 2 RADM Rick Breckenridge, ''mutual assistance from several other area fire departments'' Of 100 firefighters, 7 were injured including 4 civilian area and NSFD firefighters, and 3 ships crewmen. MIAMI was then located in drydock at the Portsmouth yard. As a postscript, one sailor suffered broken ribs while falling though a hole caused by the removal of deckplates after the blaze, which was caused by a worker, upset that he had to work overtime who placed oil or solvent-soaked rags into a ''shop-vac'' vacuum , then sucked in a rag lit on fire and took off. The angry arsonist, with the strangely appropriate name of Casey Fury, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison and forced to pay 400 million in restitution . That might take a while.... ![]() |
